GASOLENE-LAMP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 22, 1907.

Application filed May '7. 1906. Serial No. 315.584.

To all whom/ it may concern: 5

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM C. COLEMAN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Wichita, in the county of Sedgwick and State of Kansas, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Gasolene-Lamps; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit app'ertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in gasolene-lampsadapted to be used in connection with mantles; and the object of theinvention is to produce a simple.

and eflicient device of this nature in which gasolene generated in asuitable filter provided with a strainer is adapted to pass through agenerating-tip, whereby the hydrocarbon gas and oxygen, as they passthrough the mixing-chamber to the burner-cap the heat of the flame fromthe burner increases the vaporizing of the fuel by the superheating ofthe mixing-chamber.

The invention consists in other details of construction and arrangementsof parts, which will be hereinafter fully described and thenspecifically defined in the appended claim.

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of my improved lamp, parts beingshown in elevation; and Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View taken online 2 2 of Fig. 1.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, Adesignates a pipe through which gosolene is fed from any suitable sourceof supply and is provided with a rounded head A,seated in a concavedrecess B in the valve-casing B, and C designates a threaded cap adaptedto hold said pipe A in said recess of the valve-casing. The valvecasingis provided with a needle-valve D, passing through a suitable aperturedboss D and has a hand-wheel D fixed thereto. The inner end of the valveis pointed and is adapted to regulate the flow of gasolene through theduct D in said valve-casing.

E designates a generating-tube which has threaded connection with thevalve-casing and is preferably curved, as shown in the drawings, wherebyportions of the same will be positioned over the burner beneath, wherebythe heat rising therefrom may be utilized in the vaporizing of thegasolene.

F designates a filter which is positioned within said tube and made upof wire-mesh and through which the vaporized gas is filtered, and astrainer G is ositioned upon a shoulder near the lower en of thegeneratingtube and through which the vaporized gas passes, making exitthrough the generatingtip H into the air-chamber I, having an opening Itherein, through which air is supplied to the vaporized gas.

J designates a Bunsen tube communicating at one end with saidmixing-chamber and is semicircular in outline and terminating in aburner-base K, carrying a mantle N', the upper end of which ispositioned directly underneath the air-mixing chamber, therebyfurnishing heat for thoroughly vaporizing the gasolene as it mixes withthe air upon entering the Bunsen tubes. L designates a globe-supportingband which is secured to the crossbar O, fastened at its ends to saidband, and Q designates a globe held by means of the thumb-screws Q tosaid band.

From the foregoing it will be noted that by the provision of a burnermade in accordance with my invention a simple and efficient means isafforded whereby the gasolene may be thoroughly vaporized by passingthrough the curved generating-tube to receive the heat as it rises fromthe burner and which is thoroughly mixed with the heated air as itenters the Bunsen tube, the gasolene being thoroughly filtered andstrained before being mixed in readiness f or use.

What I claim is A gasolene-lamp comprising a curved gencrating-tube, theends of which are in vertical alinement, a globe-supporting band, acrosspiece secured to said band, an open-ended shell fixed to saidcross-piece and provided with an aperture therein, the lower end of saidgenerating-tube terminating in a threaded flanged jet engaging athreaded aperture in said shell, a filter and screen Within said f Intestimony whereof I hereunto aflix my generating tube, a semicircularoutlined signature in the presence of two Witnesses. Bunsen havingthreaded connectlon with the Walls or" an aperture in said shell and indirect WILLIAM COLEMAN alinement With said jet and spaced apartWitnesses: therefrom, and a burner underneath said F. K. HAMMERs,

shell, as set forth. i R. H. JOHNSON.
